UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

ABINGWORTH gained his second victory over fences at Wincanton on his latest start and the six-year-old, who was raised 2lb by the handicapper, appears capable of having more to offer. Fame And Fun improved to score over C&D a fortnight ago and is likely to be the strongest threat to the selection, while the return to a left-handed track will benefit the cause of Magistrato.
Prediction : 1st Abingworth 2nd Fame And Fun 3rd Magistrato

TOWNHILL had excuses when finishing fourth at Sedgefield last time and Tom Lacey's gelding is expected to take advantage of dropping back a couple of furlongs in distance. Fortune Forever stepped forward when runner-up at Taunton at the end of last month and has to be a key player based on that performance. Others for the shortlist include Kick Up A Storm, who sports cheekpieces for the first time, and Masterdream.
Prediction : 1st Townhill 2nd Fortune Forever 3rd Kick Up A Storm

RAMENSKY showed ability on the Flat for William Haggas and was purchased for 23,000 pounds following his victory in a Goodwood seller in August. Now in the care of Emma Lavelle, he has been found an excellent opportunity to make a winning start in this new discipline. A wind operation is likely to bring about improvement from Davidoc, while Sanitiser and Let's Sail Away are others who warrant a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ramensky 2nd Davidoc 3rd Sanitiser

NORTON HILL had little difficulty in completing a double when romping home at Hereford in December. A further 7lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for Anthony Honeyball's charge and a hat-trick could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from the reappearing Broomfields Cave, who regained the winning thread at Uttoxeter in October. Although Moka De Vassy isn't the most consistent, he lurks on an attractive mark and first-time blinkers could see the six-year-old get involved.
Prediction : 1st Norton Hill 2nd Broomfields Cave 3rd Moka De Vassy

Last-time-out Hereford scorer Crystal Moon got the better of a subsequent winner and he likely has more to come over fences. However, a 12lb rise for that victory may be enough to thwart the seven-year-old in his bid to land a double, with December C&D victor MILAN BRIDGE edging the vote. Sarah Humphrey's charge proved strong at the finish that day and he looks the better handicapped of the pair racing off only 5lb more. The hat-trick seeking Born At Midnight is sure to have his supporters too.
Prediction : 1st Milan Bridge 2nd Crystal Moon 3rd Born At Midnight

Narrowly denied on his sole previous start here over 2m last December, TELLMESOMETHINGOOD has not shown much in the interim. That said, he has dropped back to that previous mark of 98, which could spark a revival. A consistent sort for most of last summer, Shandancer is one to note on his return for a new yard, while Highway One O Five has the potential to improve going further up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Tellmesomethingood 2nd Shandancer 3rd Highway One O Five

An eye-catcher on her debut at Huntingdon, CRAZIERTHANDAISY could not justify strong market support but compensation may await here. Nicky Henderson's charge is preferred to the well-bred newcomer Hello Cello, and Jakana, who only got going late in the piece on her debut at Ludlow last November. Getaways Gift may have been well held first time out at Wincanton, but the form of that race has worked out well in the interim and she is open to improvement.
Prediction : 1st Crazierthandaisy 2nd Jakana 3rd Hello Cello
